recipe

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl, add the steak & pour in the marinade. Toss to evenly coat, then cover the bowl. Refrigerate for a minimum of 15 min & up to 1 hr.
  • Step 2
    Once the steak has marinated, heat a drizzle of oil on a grill pan over medium-high heat. Shake off the extra marinade & lay the steak on the hot pan. Sear, undisturbed until browned, about 2-3 min. Flip & cook 3-4 more min for medium-rare doneness. Transfer the meat to a cutting board.
  • Step 3
    On the same pan, toast the roll, cut-side down.
  • Step 4
    Thinly slice the steak.
  • Step 5
    Build the torta: on the bottom half of the roll, spread a layer of warmed, re-fried beans. Add the sliced steak & top with crumbled Cotija cheese. Add a handful of shredded lettuce & some fresh cilantro if you have. Serve & enjoy!
